Algorithms

There is such a difficulty, not even a difficulty, but a problem, I go to any programming resource to solve any problems and just get into a stupor how to develop an algorithm to solve the problem, and at work when they set tasks, such as writing some small console a utility for counting netflow traffic, or a TCP-server for receiving and further processing connections, there are no problems with a telegram bot, or I solve problems from devops on codesignal with ease too, but how are things related to sorting, graphs, matrices, the brain turns off, maybe someone encountered with such a problem? Can you give me some advice on how to make a plan for myself?

there is no plan, only experience.
You can't read/watch something and immediately enlighten yourself.
theory will provide a base, but without practice, this base is worthless and will quickly be forgotten.
Simply solve problems on topics of interest, and everything will come by itself.

Question: why? To be honest, all these "reverse the line" are found only in interviews. It is not clear what the questioners want to see.
But if necessary, here you can practice on cats https://simpleprogrammer.com/programming-interview...
Almost certainly one of these tasks will be slipped to you.

Algorithms are secondary. You need to start with system engineering skills. System analysis and give you a plan. Programming is essentially the modeling of systems.

In general, an algorithm is a sequence of steps, so it is necessary to decompose, then decompose again, until the individual parts become solvable. Then you connect everything architecturally and voila.
Sometimes when you need a multi-move, I sit down and draw, write, briefly formulate, and then structure the stream of consciousness.
It also helps to take other people's decisions and disassemble them into bricks. At first, I only delved into the wisdom. My theory has always been strictly according to my needs and after practice.
